I just moved to Bengaluru and for the past four nights, I've been waking up in the middle of the night struggling to breathe. Before coming here, I was getting Ayurvedic treatment for Allergic Rhinitis but stopped once I moved. I'm worried if this breathing issue is somehow connected to the Allergic Rhinitis. Could it be related?

I'm wondering why I've been needing to take deep breaths every 5 to 10 minutes over the past 5 days. My x-ray and ECG came back normal, so I'm really puzzled. It's starting to affect my ability to focus at work, though I don't seem to have any issues at night. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how to stop this?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've been on TB medication for 25 days now, and even though I'm feeling better physicallymy weight loss, fever and night sweats have disappearedI just got my sputum smear test results back and it's still 4+ positive. I know it can take a while to turn negative, but I was really hoping it might have gone down to 3 or 2 by now. Is this normal? Should I be concerned that it hasn't improved yet?

it is normal
